Crockery Black with Max Lamb - Posy Vase

1882 Ltd.’s interpretation of black basalt, Crockery is a collection of fine bone china tableware slip-cast from plaster models carved by hand, with glazed interior for functionality and raw exterior reflecting the modest surface texture of the plaster original. Using the tools of a stonemason Lamb chips and carves a solid block of plaster to make a series of tableware, the design of each formed quite simply out of their own making.

Max Lamb, a London-based designer from Cornwall, is known for his material-focused approach to creating beautifully crafted pieces. A graduate of the Royal College of Art, Lamb's work emphasises simplicity and transparency, as seen in his fine bone china "Crockery" collection, where materials and traditional processes take centre stage.
